We had a wonderful anniversary celebration! The food was fantastic, the nonalcoholic drinks were tasty, and they brought out an ice cream to share with a sparkler in it in celebration of our day. It was very nice, and the service was impeccable! Thank you for a lovely evening!

A stunningly amazing sushi restaurant. The seafood is exquisitely fresh and superbly prepared. I tried the sashimi sampler, uni roll, octopus and seaweed salad and found everything impeccable, and buttery smooth delicious. As a business traveler, I have enjoyed some of the best out there and this rivals the best. On the top of my list for my next visit to San Diego.

We have been eating at Japanese restaurants for decades in USA and in Asia. In fact, we live in Singapore. We like to sit at the sushi bar for an omakase experience. The chef did not disappoint! He had many unusual items from Japan that were excellent! Even old standards had a fresh feeling to them. We ate till we couldn't eat more! We will be back for sure. One of the best sushi restaurants we have eaten in the USA.
